StarForge blends Minecraft with Halo

Starforge is a first-person action game with infinite
deformable terrain, proper physics and no loading screens. It lets
you build blocky structures, just like Minecraft does, but
instead of coating them in low-resolution textures, it makes them
look incredible. Then, on top, it layers attacks from aliens and
the ability to jet up through the atmosphere into space.

It's the work of a pair of Canadian coders called William Sworin
and Steve Smolley, who go by the name of CodeHatch. They haven't
finished making the game yet, but -- like Minecraft -- you
can download the latest built and give it a go from the Starforge website
(or, if it's down, then you can try this
official torrent). It's going
to be a free-to-play title, so you won't need to pay for it
down the line, either.

The pair said in a comment on Reddit: "All of the features promised in the video
are in mid-development and will appear in a future build very soon.
At the end of the day though we are just two people and only have
24 hours in a day like anyone else. We had no idea our project
would receive this much attention and we hope that we timed this
right."

They added: "We will try our very hardest over the coming months
and years to make this project the exact way we envisioned it to
be."
